Listen to "The Jolly Banker" and "Ain't Got No Home In This World Anymore" by Woody Guthrie. "Written in 1940, the song [Jolly Banker] came from the perspective of the banker who thinks he's a benevolent citizen for issuing credit to workers, not recognizing the unfairness of the credit terms. The same day Guthrie recorded 'The Jolly Banker,' he also recorded 'I Ain't Got No Home in This World Anymore,' a lament from a person who's lost everything to the financial system." (Source)
